David,

>For all the good they are, private DS's can be a real PITA sometimes. Let your localized versions exist as cursors in the default DS (or as local tables in the temp folder). Then your cbo could do a USE (this.cCursor) in 0 again to get the cursor opened inside the form DS.

That's exactly what I am thinking! Can the localized cursors in my lookup object DS be USED AGAIN in other DSs? Or maybe I use USE DBF(this.cCursor) AGAIN? I'll do some experimenting...

Let me just say... I still want my VFP 8.0 SP1 regardless!
